Overview

Information on use

The Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching offer is available to selected pupils and students from accredited educational institutions (universities, universities of applied sciences, grammar schools, vocational and commercial schools). For Osnabrück University, these are exclusively the students of the School of Business Administration and Economics (FB9). Use of the software is restricted as follows:

"Pupils and students may use the software without restriction for study and research purposes. The software may not be used for business or other commercial purposes. However, Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching has established a partnership with the Microsoft App Store teams to enable students to create games and applications for the Windows Store. This is the only case where students are allowed to use software available on Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching for commercial purposes."
